3 anonymous individuals are believed to have broken a new transcontinental record, using an Audi A8 and taking advantage of freeways emptied by the coronavirus to drive from New York City to Redondo Beach, California, in 26 hours, 38 minutes.
Arne Toman, Doug Tabbutt and Berkeley Chadwick appeared to borrow a page from Bolian by using a relatively plain-Jane vehicle. They also used GPS devices, radios, scanners, binoculars, custom gas tanks and an array of volunteer"spotters" to avoid unnecessary police or refueling stops.
The latest record was made in another"sleeper," a 2019 Audi A8 L, Bolian said. No stripes and no stickers for his car, he said.He said he knows the members of the crew, but they want to remain anonymous for fear of being ostracized. "Everybody understands if you became known for an attempt in this climate you would become the poster child for violating stay-in-place in orders," he said.
